There are many apps out there for the iPhone, and with user favorites such social media apps like Facebook and Twitter leading the way. However, there are many out there that are just as useful and amazing as the aforementioned apps but are virtually unknown. If you’ve always wanted to fill your iPhone with useful apps but are too busy to browse the plethora of apps available at the App Store, here are some of the best ones that seem to never make “the best of” lists but bring great functionality to your smartgadget.
FileThis
Do you view your utility bills via your trusty smartphone? If you do, you’ll love FileThis. This app allows you to gather and organize online statements and other documents that your credit card or insurance company mails you. The app smartly converts these documents to text-searchable PDF files and delivers it to the cloud service of your choice. With FileThis, you can always review your statements with ease. You will also never lose files even if you happen to misplace your phone since they’ll be stored in cloud.
SitOrSquat
When you travel to a non-English speaking country, don’t you just hate it when you can’t easily ask a trivial question like where the toilet is? SitorSquat is the world’s most convenient app for locating nearby toilets. Currently, the app has over 65,000 registered toilets worldwide and the database is still growing thanks to a dedicated community that helps update SitOrSquat regularly.
SnapGuide
Sometimes, learning how to do a certain task can be difficult if you just read text instructions. With SnapGuide, however, DIY guides are made easy. The app is filled with how-to guides for everything from art to food, and each is illustrated with detailed steps. It’s a great app to have around at all times, especially if you’re a bit of a DIY fan. Users can create guides of their own to share with the community.
Smartphones are quite possibly the fastest growing industry in the world, and it isn’t too surprising given the scope of people who use them now. According to the company that manages the entertainment site Pocket Fruity, mobile sales are expected to surpass $40 billion in 2015 so we will probably see more apps in the future that revolutionize the way we see things in every part of our lives.

I hadn’t heard of any of these before but I will check them out! Thanks
I love using SleepCycle, a great way to measure your sleeping patterns and it wakes you up from a light sleep, rather than the annoying alarms!

SnapGuide sounds really interesting! I really like using Hailo when I’m in London to easily track down a black cab! Alice x
Ohh I am going to have to head and download these! How did I not know about them. x
I would find it very difficult trusting important documents to Cloud storage, but I do love Genius scan, I use it to store medical letters/test results etc I need to have to hand
I really wish I was organised enough to get to grips with the apps on my phone, which is ironic, when you think about it!
I like the sound of filethis and snapguide, they sound really useful.
I really need to look into some more apps for my phone – I am sure I could make my life so much more organised
Some great apps here – I love Evernote as I can make notes and then view them on my laptop x
I really like the sound of FileThis – need to check if there’s anything similar for the Android 😉
I haven’t got an iPhone but I’ll tell my mother-in-law about these. I think she would find the FileThis one very useful.
I love the sound of Snapguide, possibly the one I would use the most x
Had never heard of sit or squat, but it sounds like the most useful thing ever for holidays! Thanks so much
Some great apps there !
I love the sound of File This – my paperwork is in a horrendous mess!
Oh I haven’t heard of any of these before, thank you, I’m going to look into all of them!
